BMC Traffic Review as submitted with Further Advice response
13 August 2026 BMC27010: 45 Maple Street, Cooroy Myall Rise P/L C/- Melthorn Pty Ltd Attn: Jonathan Thynne RE: 45 Maple Street, Cooroy Traffic Engineering Review of Car Parking and Vehicle Accessibility Dear Jonathan, I refer to the Planning Application for land located at 45 Maple Street, Cooroy. The following has been prepared to address questions raised in relation to the car parking provision and internal swept path conflicts. The questions and design response are provided under separate headings, below. The drawing reviewed in the preparation of this advice in provided at Attachment A. Car Parking Provision The proposed development is advised as including Social and Affordable Housing, as follows: 7 x one bedroom dwellings. 12 x two bedroom dwellings. 6 x allocated car parking spaces. 13 x pooled car parking spaces. 1 x communal PWD car parking space. In terms of the suitability of car parking provision, reference has been made to the Queensland Government’s ‘Social Housing Design Guideline Toolkit. Technical Summary Sheets. March 2024.’ document. Within the document, under the ‘Carparking and Site Access (Dwellings with communal carparking)’ heading, the following is noted: Car parking rates of provision Developments must meet the Performance Outcomes of local planning schemes, typically requiring that developments “provide sufficient off-street parking to accommodate for parking demand”. Unless otherwise specified by the department, one covered car parking space per dwelling is required and considered sufficient to accommodate parking demand generated by residents and visitors. This is to include one fully wheelchair accessible car parking space per Platinum Level dwelling, located as close as possible to Platinum Level dwellings. As the proposed car parking provision meets the nominated car parking requirement within the Queensland Government’s technical design guidelines, on the basis of no Platinum Level dwellings, the proposed car parking supply is appropriate for the development. Management of Internal Conflict It is understood that a concern has been raised with the internal vehicle accessibility, specifically with regard to the bend in the internal driveway. Swept path assessments have been undertaken utilising AutoTRACK to confirm the vehicle swept path through this area, testing accessibility of the B85 and B99 passenger vehicle as defined by the Australian Standard (AS/NZS2890.1:2004).

The results of the swept path assessments are provided at Attachment B to this advice and demonstrate there is a
suitable location prior to entering the shared driveway from both directions, where B85/B99 vehicles can wait and allow
a vehicle to pass.
The following are recommended to manage the two way use of the single lane Shared Driveway section:
Painting of Hold Lines on the pavement to indicate to drivers where they are required to Give Way.
Either signage or line marking to advise drivers of the Give Way requirement, and the vehicles they are to
Give Way to. Specifically:
- Entering Traffic: Give Way to vehicles already in the Shared Driveway section.
- Exiting Traffic: Give Way to entering traffic and vehicles already in the Shared Driveway section.
Installation of convex mirrors on the outside of corners, as shown, to assist in observation of vehicles within
the Shared Driveway.
The area of one way use of the shared driveway is set back well within the site, such that queuing on the external road
network is not anticipated.
As it will be primarily residents on the driveway (familiar drivers), with an expected low traffic volume, and noting that
vehicles will be travelling at low speeds, the above is expected to appropriately manage the two way use of the shared
driveway.
Note: This advice is limited to the design elements specifically noted above and this letter does not constitute or imply
a full traffic engineering review of the proposed development.
I trust that the above is clear and assists Council with their review. Should you have any questions, please feel free to
call to discuss.
Yours sincerely,
Beth Meehan
